Voting & Donor Alignment

A side-by-side look at major donor contributions and the timing of Baxter's related votes or Commission actions, so patterns are easy to spot at a glance. "Pattern strength" reflects how closely contribution timing lines up with a related official action — it is not a legal finding.

Pba Holdings Inc (Project Tango developer/landowner)

High pattern

Contribution: $10,000 to campaign + $12,000 to PAC

Date: Nov. 19, 2025

Related vote/action: Item placed on the consent agenda before public pressure forced a full hearing; Baxter requested a postponement rather than rejection.

Contribution landed the day after public notice of Project Tango hearings was posted.

Company founded by developer Stephen M. Ross

High pattern

Contribution: $25,000

Date: Dec. 4, 2025

Related vote/action: No public vote against the project; Baxter called any link between the donation and the project "speculative."

Contribution received the same day the zoning commission approved Project Tango plan changes.

Related Southeast, Hokunani LLC, Highland Beach Real Estate Holdings, Ronald L. Book P.A.

Moderate pattern

Contribution: $10,000–$25,000 each

Date: Through Mar. 31, 2026

Related vote/action: No public vote by Baxter is on record rejecting a proposal backed by these donors.

Major real-estate and development interests are among Baxter's largest overall donors.

Baxter's response, on the record: "Contributions to my campaign have never been solicited in exchange for influence and have no bearing on how I vote on matters before the Commission. My decisions are guided by two primary factors: applicable local and state laws, which I am required to follow, and input from residents."

Donor Alignment Scorecard

Ranks Baxter's top donors by the share of publicly documented, donor-relevant votes or Commission actions where the outcome favored that donor's known interests. Scores are based only on the specific instances reported by local outlets — not a full review of every vote Baxter has cast.

"Actions Reviewed" counts only cases where local reporting tied a specific vote or Commission action to a donor's contribution timing or interest. A small sample size means these rates should be read as documented instances, not a statistical pattern across her full voting record.
